Hipster Bingo: (near) Flawless Victory!

There may have been some 90's grunge bands on the stage at Pitchfork, but there certainly weren't any slackers in the audience.

@sftsc has entered the fray with this submission, making it clear to all that he sought more than a mere "bingo" this past weekend. @sftsc went deep into hipster country in search of TOTAL HIPSTER BINGO DOMINATION!

Let us see what he found there...

(fresh white) Converse - check

 

Hipster Haircut - yup

 

Hipster Hat - there it is, the brown one, back there

 

Raybans - Why is this guy reading? What the heck's so interesting that he has to read it standing up, outdoors, at a music festival? I hope Jesus Lizard didn't catch him doing this...

 

T-shirt with Ironic Phrase - "Sex Drive." Nice little pose he struck there. Looks like he actually warped time and space around him with his awesomeness.

 

Parliament Lights - I'll bet he just carries the box around to look cool.

 

Scarf - The perfect summertime accessory.

 

Thick Black Rimmed Glasses - "I hope nobody can tell I'm Superman"

 

Cabbie Cap - I'm pretty sure this guy is somebody's dad. Maybe the girl with the hipster haircut?

 

Pants That Fit Way Too Tight - Hoping that's a girl. Fearing it isn't.

 

Vans - The "Air Jordans" of $8 sneakers.

 

Plaid Shirt - It might be a shirt, but how can we tell if he's not wearing it? Judges?... We'll allow it.

 

Unkempt Beard - Yes, he has a beard. And he's generally unkempt... Judges?... Yes! Count it. Another close call for @sftsc.

 

Fedora Hat - Did Bogie wear his fedora with a t-shirt and flip-flops?

 

Satchel - The cammo pattern is the most butch man purse available on the market today. And the "CONSUMER" tattoo down his forearm means this pic counts for double the points, as well as being thematically consistent with this particular hipster's aggressive brand of irony.

 

Neon Shirt - Look how wide this guy's shoulders are. You have to be one bad dude to wear a pink t-shirt.

 

Congratulations @sftsc! By a clean knockout, you are Windy Citizen's first undisputed Hipster Bingo Champion!

Pretty sure that guy was reading the pitchfork GUIDE. aka the handout that describes all the bands. no need to poke fun at a guy for that.

It's all in good fun, now. Think I was too harsh?

I certainly don't, but I'm also probably the wrong person to ask here... Not exactly Miss Sensitivity sometimes :-/

Yep, Anna Tarkov shoots from the hip. You can always count on her to give it to you straight.

so it cool if i am a little psyched?? and the guy with the camo chrome bag and consumer tattoo was probably about to get creeped out. i took like 5 shots of him trying to get the consumer tat just right.

but he kept drinking his beer!!
